Earn your fun by focusing.
Mentigo is a focus room in your browser. Do the work and you earn coins. Spend them on duels with friends, a daily puzzle, and a buddy that grows with you.
No account needed to try, and nothing to install.
How it works
You write down what you're working on and start a timer. There's no blocking. Check-ins keep you honest, and if the work is on paper, leaving Mentigo counts as a slip on its own.
Finish, and you get paid in coins. Then the fun part is yours, because you earned it.
You earn
You spend
Coins can't be bought with money. You earn them, mostly by focusing.
The focus room
Stay with it, and know when you didn't. Blockers get switched off. Mentigo works the other way: it keeps you honest with a goal you can see, a check-in now and then, and a count of every time you drifted.
Say what you're doing
Your goal stays on screen for the whole session, so “on task” means something.
Count the slips
Drifted? One tap logs it and you're back. Working on paper? Leaving the screen logs it for you. No slips pays 25% more.
Pick your sound
Rain, waves or brown noise, generated in the page while you work. Or silence.
The Daily
One puzzle a day, the same for everyone. Five quick rounds of maths, patterns and colours. Fifteen seconds each, and faster answers score more. Everyone gets the same five, so the leaderboard means something.
When you're done, post your squares and dare someone to beat you.
Spend it on the fun part.
- Duels. Bet coins on a head-to-head game with a friend, or queue up against anyone online. Highest score takes the pot.
- Fourteen games. Quick ones like Reaction and Quick Math, longer ones like 2048, and a chess bot with five levels.
- Your buddy. It grows every time you finish a session. Dress it in hats, glasses and shoes from the shop.

Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. Mentigo runs in your browser on any computer or phone. You can try a full session before you make an account.
Does it block apps or websites?
No. Blockers are easy to switch off. Mentigo keeps your goal on screen, checks in now and then, and counts your slips. If your work is off screen, leaving Mentigo counts as a slip automatically, and you can prove a session with a photo of what you did for extra coins.
Can I buy coins?
No. Most coins come from finishing focus sessions, with a little from games and daily extras. That's the point: the fun is paid for with focus, not money.
Is it for students or for work?
Both. Switch between Student and Work in Settings, and the focus modes and wording change to match. Students get a direct line to StudyDecoder.
